Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients over 18 years old who have planned or recently undergone valve interventions for tricuspid or pulmonary regurgitation.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are unable to consent, those in care, or those who cannot comply with follow-up examinations may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates patients who have undergone interventional therapies for valvular diseases of the right heart, focusing on tricuspid and pulmonary regurgitation. It involves follow-up examinations that include medical history, laboratory measurements, and echocardiograms to assess the impact of these therapies on patient outcomes. The study aims to identify which patient subgroups benefit the most from specific interventional techniques, such as the TriClip and Cardioband. By analyzing endpoints like mortality and heart failure hospitalization, the study seeks to enhance understanding of treatment effectiveness.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment strategies for patients with right heart valve diseases, enhancing their quality of life and longevity.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success with similar interventional approaches for right heart diseases, indicating a promising avenue for further investigation.
